Esoteric Lesson

Then there are four stages we have to climb. First, we must seek the self, the core within us. Then we will also recognize the non-self. We must seek this center within ourselves, for this center lies in every single being. Everywhere is the center, everywhere is the periphery. You may imagine yourself transported to the outermost limits, but you can find the center everywhere. The earth revolves around the sun; the sun revolves with the earth through the great space of the universe. And next to it, an infinite number of other celestial bodies revolve. Every single being forms a center. No humans like us live on those celestial bodies. There are beings living on them, but not humans. Humans have no connection with them; there is no relationship. They can only achieve this relationship if they rise inwardly to a level where all those beings have their common foundation.
